Difficulty flashing recovery image - Redmi Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've been trying to flash twrp recovery image onto my redmi note 1 4G (Qualcom). Whenever i press the volume up + power button to pick boot mode, i am only able to use volume up to pick which bootmode (normal/recovery/fastboot) but pressing volume down to confirm choice does not do anything. Thus, i decided to enter it through fastboot on my pc. I get an error when i flash my recovery image saying
OKAY [ 0.408s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote:
partition 'recovery' not support flash)
finished. total time: 0.423s
Thanks

I think your partitions are messed up. See if flashing stock ROM and then proceeding fixes it :good:

Kentucky fried flash?

I was working on an interesting app on my N7 (grouper). I left it on for about a week after the week I found the N7 stuck in a boot loop. I can get it into the boot loader and can do fastboot things but I can't flash a recovery or rom.
I get this error when I try.
sending 'recovery' (7766 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.013s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: (FileWriteFailed))
finished. total time: 4.848s
I was able to get to the recovery splash screen if I booted recovery (no flash) but thats it.
Trying to start from the bootloader gives me a "Booting failed" error.
My guess is I managed to cook the flash so no more writing or reading is possible. What say you fine fellows have I made it into masonry?
Can you boot into stock recovery.If yes try factory reset otherwise
Try the wugs toolkit
It has options to restore your phone

[Q] Definitely [Bricked] Maybe

Hello to everyone,
I'm stuck in a very bad situation with my ZTE open (codename Inari).
I've flashed the phone for upgrading to 1.4 version software, but something goes wrong...
In startup the phone stuck with the splash boot image (the logo with the FirefoxOS text)
Now the phone boot only in a fastboot way (with ROAMER2 codename), and whathever firmware I try to flash into phone give this error:
with fastboot windows version:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (5712 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.523s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.922s
with fastboot linux or mac version:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (5712 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.523s]
writing 'recovery'...
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002ed
FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))
finished. total time: 0.839s
in each way the phone reboot.
I've tried also the NandDL_firefox.exe software, but It seems to be in trouble with the ARMPRG file (that I don't really what it is, and the software come in chinese language)
So, if I press the VolUp+power the phone does nothing (still with the logo described up),
the VolDown+Power the phone does nothing.
Only with the VolUp+VolDown and Power button the phone going into Download Mode (the pc recognized the phone as "ZTE WCDMA Handset Diagnostic Port"...
Maybe this can be the last salvation, this mode is recognized by QPST suite software, but I don't know from where I can start to use this software...
Someone can help me?
Or someone want a bricked phone to hard testing?
Thanks

have you tried flashing the original firmware from the zte website? and then start all over? From what I remember, you can put the firmware directly on the sd card and flash from the recovery menu.

There is a little little little problem.
The recovery menu doesn't exist anymore...
I've (maybe bad) flashed the recovery partition, so it's now inaccessible...
Pushing the VOLUP+Power button the devices doesn't start in recovery mode...
Only Download Mode is available, but I don't know what it is really
Thank you

the phone stuck in fastboot mode when the power button is pressed.
The only other method to start up the phone is download mode (VolUP+VolDown and power button).

cant you flash recovery using ADB ????? i think you might, just find a recovery that does work on your mobile and flash it using adb if it works you can install or flash atleast something to work with.

Can't get fastboot flash recovery twrp.img to TAKE after factory reset??? Help>

I originally did a boot unlock, a fash of twrp-2.8.7.2-angler.img, and when I could not get the pattern on twrp recovery to function, I did a sideload of the twrp.img instead of an install.
This failed in a boot loop.
SO I did a flash back to stock with angler-mdb08m-factory-dbc17940.tgz (after unpacking this).
Then I restored all my apk, etc.
BUT now when I do:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.2-angler.img, I SEE:
target reported max download size of 494927872 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16880 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.561s]

---- all looks fine, but the device itself does not seem to react and when I reboot, and select recovery, it just goes into Google recovery.
Has anyone else seen this, and do you know how to get past this?
I already tried to unlock again and it tells me error, already unlocked.
So my next step would be to do a lock and then an unlock again, but that would probably cause me to take several hours restoring after another flash to stock, and I fear that I will be back where I am now??? any thoughts??
SOLVED!
It seems that somehow, I just hadn't waited long enough. I was able to now reboot into recovery.
Thanks to any that looked at this issue.

stuck at lockscreen, bootloader and frp locked

Hi, I just changed the lcd screen on an old p8lite my girlfriend wasn't using for a year or so. Fact is she can't remember the pin.
Pressing power+vol down I can enter fastboot and rescue mode, but phone was never unlocked so i don't know what commands I can really execute from here, if I press vol up and get into rescue mode I am given the option to download a new recovery, but when downloading it says 'getting package info failed'. In rescue mode I don't have other choices besides rebooting and shutdown.
What can I do to unlock the phone?Can somebody help me?????
UPDATE: on one of many reboots instead of showing me just the options to reboot, shutdown and download recovery, Emui recovery showed the possibility of making a wipe, so i went on wiping, downgrading, rooting, unlocking the bootloader, but i couldn't install twrp - every time I try these are the results:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP-3.2.3-0-Hi6250-Askuccio-v1.0.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

But TWRP doesn't get installed, anyway....
I would also like to try to run a datarecovery software to recover photos and stuff my girlfriend left in, but without having the p8 lite mass storage in explorer the results I get with android data recovery softwares are pretty useless, is there a way to make show the storage in explorer? If anyone would be willing to help me with some hints, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

Can't boot in twrp

Hi, i'm trying to root my redmi note 7 so first i need to boot in twrp in order to root my phone.
My problem is that i can't enter twrp:
I've unlocked bootloader and installed adb + enabled usb debugging. Then, i enter fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), i flash the recovery with twrp img, which works fine
C:\Users\Ailiganon\Desktop\redmi note 7 root tool\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.410s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.452s]
Finished. Total time: 1.928s
But then, when i want to enter twrp using VolumeUp+Power button, it simply boots the phone normally !!!
I've also tried using this command when in fastboot: fastboot boot twrp.img but it does nothing although in CMD, it shows the command worked fine:
C:\Users\Ailiganon\Desktop\redmi note 7 root tool\platform-tools>fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.392s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.133s]
Finished. Total time: 1.584s
I can access recovery mode when i turn off my phone and simply use VolumeUp+Power button (not from fastboot) but since Xiaomi overwrites the recovery mode everytime it reboots, it just enters the regular redmi recovery menu and not twrp. Idk what to do else
I've used the twrp img from this video: www youtube com watch?v=r3R9kiBIx34 (i can't post url >.<) and i've tried another one on another website, but i think it was the same one since they had the same size.
Hope someone can help me ty

I've unpacked orangefox, flash recovery.img in fastboot mode, and then i held the recovery buttons, but yet again, it just boots the phone and it's even worse cause it prompts me a password to access android that i dont fkin know. So i've had to reset the phone using "fastboot format userdata" command. I did it twice cause the first time i had a schema to unlock the phone so i've put a password instead but the second time it prompted me the password, i've put the password i've chosen to unlock the phone but it said "wrong password". So i don't know what password they ask, and i dont know why it appears only after flashing orange fox....
I've also tried with the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" with the same result as earlier
C:\Users\Ailiganon\Desktop\redmi note 7 root tool\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (30488 KB) OKAY [ 0.659s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.216s]
Finished. Total time: 0.917s
What orangenfox said by cancel and format data?
